NAVIGATING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF UAV AND WEB-BASED 3D MODELING TECHNOLOGIES
Hu, Dingkun (2024)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have emerged as a transformative technology within urban management as an aerial photography tool that presents novel avenues for refining digital twin creation, fostering public engagement, and deepening comprehension of the built environment. This study examines the accuracy of 3D models produced through UAV photogrammetry in contrast to web-based 3D models. By doing so, it interprets the consequential impact of such variances on their adaptability across diverse urban and regional planning tasks. Discerning each approach's distinct merits and demerits, the research identifies optimal contexts for their respective deployment. In addition, the paper addresses the limitations intrinsic to UAV deployment in urban and regional planning. These insights pave the way for innovative avenues in 3D model construction that amplify public engagement and involvement, thereby cultivating a more inclusive and informed planning paradigm.
The Fabric of Care: Women’s Work and the Politics of Livelihood in Socialist China
Yige Dong (East Asia Program, Cornell University, 2023-05-08)
Based on the speaker’s book-in-progress, this lecture examines how the way of doing care—performing paid and unpaid reproductive labor that maintains our daily life and attends to people who are in need—has changed among Chinese workers during the rise and fall of industrial socialism.
Drawing on archival data, oral histories, and participatory observation in a textile mill town in central China, this research compares three generations of manufacturing workers’ experience of doing care, with a focus on the realm of childcare and domestic labor, and explains why care work had changed from unpaid “women’s work” in the household to a core constituent of labor welfare during socialist industrialization, and then has been removed from welfare provisions in recent decades. Shifting the analytical focus from the sphere of production to that of social reproduction, this study offers a reinterpretation of Chinese socialism and highlights the indispensable role of gender in understanding political economy.
Prof. Dong’s primary research interest lies at the intersection of political economy, social inequality, and social change. Currently, she is working on a book project, The Fabric of Care: Women’s Work and the Politics of Livelihood in Industrial China, which examines the changing politics of care in China’s industrial sector in the past century. Prof. Dong has been awarded the Luce/ACLS Early Career Fellowship in China Studies (2021-2022).

Component production per cow per day: Ranges and selected measures
Koval, Lainey; Karszes, Jason (PRO-DAIRY, 2024-04)
Milk component yield has become a key management focus for dairy farms over the last two decades. The combination of the impact that components have on milk pricing and two-tier milk pricing programs have been driving this focus. Using data from the Dairy Profit Monitor for the period of August 2022 to September 2023, herd performance metrics over 12-months from 110 farms were used to create five performance groups with 22 farms in each quintile. The pounds of components per cow per day were used to sort herd performance measures, with the highest quintile of data being the highest component herds.
